When I first started on the net a couple of years ago, to find information on eye mechs in puppetry- I was very dissappointed. It was very hard to come by.Â OneÂ mechanism that is very simple to construct isÂ the one posted by Puppet Planet.Â

On the Muppet Central Forum,Â the memberÂ who goes by JDAmato posted his version of a blinking eye mechanism– it looks a little more complicated. Great work JD, hope to see a working model on video soon.
